Technical Analysis (Educational)
Research

Technical analysis reads price and volume to judge momentum and timing. It complements the fundamentals above — it does not replace them. Here is what DD's chart says today, with each tool explained.

Trend — moving averages. A moving average is the average closing price over a window, which smooths out daily noise. DD trades near $144.60, above its 50-day average ($142.45) and 200-day average ($128.80). Price above both averages, with the shorter one above the longer, is the textbook definition of an uptrend — momentum favours buyers.

Momentum — RSI. The Relative Strength Index runs 0–100 and measures how strong recent gains are versus losses. Above 70 is "overbought", below 30 "oversold". At 49 it is in neutral territory — neither stretched nor washed out.

MACD. MACD compares two moving averages to flag shifts in momentum. Its histogram is currently negative — short-term momentum is fading.

Volatility — ATR. Average True Range is the typical daily move. DD's is $4.52 (~3.1% of price), so swings of about that size each day are normal — handy for setting a stop that isn't too tight.

Support & resistance. Over the last month DD found buyers near $131.14 (support) and sellers near $148.68 (resistance); its 52-week range is $86.59–$157.98. A decisive break beyond either edge often marks the next move.

Volume. The latest session traded 0.8× the 20-day average — about normal. Rising volume on up-days suggests real buying; on down-days, real selling.

In the latest year DuPont produced about $560.00M of operating cash flow and $227.00M of free cash flow after capital spending. That is a free-cash-flow yield of about 9.3% on today's price. Strong cash generation funds dividends, buybacks, and reinvestment.

Dividend Safety

Can the payout survive a bad year? Scored from filed cash flow, earnings coverage, and the raise/cut record.

At RiskSafety score: 0/100

Coverage is weak, the payout was cut recently, or it's being financed rather than earned — treat the current yield as fragile.

Bull Case

The case for DD:

  • Healthy free-cash-flow yield (~9.3%) funds buybacks and dividends.
  • A conservative balance sheet (debt/equity 0.2x) lowers risk.
Bear Case

The case against DD:

  • Revenue growth is slow/negative (-22.5%), limiting the upside engine.
  • Thin net margins (-0.3%) leave little room for error.
  • Our model's overall read is Weak (29/100).
Key Risks
Research

Growth risk — sluggish revenue (-22.5%) leaves little margin for execution missteps.

Margin risk — thin profitability (-0.3%) is vulnerable to cost or pricing pressure.

Market risk — sector rotation, the economic cycle, and broad sentiment move the stock regardless of fundamentals.

Investment Thesis
Research

On balance, the fundamentals screen weakly: DuPont is a large-cap materials business with shrinking revenue, with modest profitability, and a sound balance sheet. It trades at n/a earnings, which our model scores Weak (29/100). Weigh this against your own goals and time horizon — this is educational information, not a recommendation.
